I've looking to fill out a pdf with a form data, but can only find librarys to make new pdfs or my html layouts into a pdf. I'm looking to simply fill out fields of a pdf.
I'm wondering two things, when a pdf has fillable fields, how can i read the source to see what those fillable names are, and secondly is there a library to do this? I've already looked into node-jspdf, but it doesn't do what I am looking for.
I found this for node. https://github.com/tpisto/pdf-fill-form
I am currently using it and I can pull the fields from a pdf and there is methods to write to those fields and then create a pdf from it..
hoping it works out..

I have Scanned Image, I converted it to pdf file, the content of image are rows and columns (table), I want Extract the text from table to excel file, any Idea? any good website or tool or program can I use it
I tried to use a lot of websites to extract text, but it does not work
Do you have Microsoft Excel? If you do, then first convert the PDF to a JPEG.
And with that, go to Microsoft Excel
Create a New Document
Go to the Data Tab
Choose "Data From Picture"
Choose Picture From File
You'll see a couple of instructions. Follow them to complete the process of converting the picture to table.
You'll also have the option of correcting any inaccuracies before adding them to your spreadsheet.
That's all!
There are lots of ways to extract text from pdfs, and to extract comments from pdfs. But are there any ways to extract the text+comments together from pdf files? So that the comment associated with each segment of text is clear.
So far, I have been able to do this using google docs: Export Google Docs comments into Google Sheets, along with highlighted text?
but not using pdfs. Converting the pdf to a docx messes up the formatting very badly, so it doesnt seem to be a viable option.
Can somebody help me with a code rather than asking me to refer to itextsharp and pdf.
Basically I am trying to edit an existing pdf timestamp in the first page and a date in the second page, which is in a table and its a 100 page document. I am using C# approval test to compare the two pdf's. But is fails in these two instances of date place. So could somebody help me with C# code that will read the existing pdf, edit the pdf in the same place and save the same pdf.
Thanks
I need to do a mail merge. Our form is in PDF format. I have my data in an Excel file. Is there an easy way to mail merge?
IF not I have to convert back to Word and do it in there.
I do not program or know how to run scripts etc. so sending me code wont help.
Thanks

[Note: I posted the same answer for a similar question]
is there a workaround to use the cfdocument tag to save a page/file as an excel sheet instead of a PDF file?
I already have a process set up to make pdf files and email them out and would like to give my customers the option of getting an excel file instead. It would be nice if I could reuse the code I already have instead of having to rewrite it in POI or something like that.
The type of data witihn a PDF is not usually the same type of data that makes sense for Excel. That being said, there are multiple other ways to create Excel spreadhseets.
In ColdFusion 9, it's native. Just use the cfspreadsheet. In CF8... well, it looks like you have POI. So use that. ;) Ben Nadel also has a nice wrapper for POI so you can consider that too.
The thing is - you will not be able to go from CFDOCUMENT to a spreadsheet since it is really a different type of data.
In ColdFusion 9 use the cfspreadsheet tag and/or spreadsheet functions. That creates a real Excel file.
In ColdFusion 8 and below the easiest way is to use the html table > Excel hack/trick. Put your data in a standard html table, save them in a file with a .xls extension and email them to your users. When the user opens the file Excel will convert the html table to an Excel spreadsheet. You could also send the content to the browser by adding at the top of the page. With this method make sure that you are only sending an html table for best results.
